1t has been estimated that one Fourth
Of July celebration costs the country as
much as a great battle. The confagra-
tions resulting from the use of fireworks,
and the casualties recorded from acci-
dents in handling explosives are alarm
ing in the aggregate. Truly this pop.
hss-bang style Of celebrating the national
Birthday anniversary is a queer custom
borrowed from heathendom, and is poor
method of giving vent TO swelling patriot
ism. Losers by fire in Cincinnati and
some other cities intend prosecuting
their municipal governments for dam
ages. Perhaps such a movement will
bring popular attention to bear upon
the subject with more directness than
any impassioned persuasion.

What have the Democratic candidates
for the fall compaign to build their hopes
upon? The Democrats who now hold
down seats in the county offices saved
themselves by the skin of their teeth.
Dittey's majority was A, Worley's 26,
Larkin's 10, and Vance's 16. Are these
figures to be gloated over? Republicans

"Policy" manipulators in Cincinnati
are becoming acquainted with Judge
Caldwell rather too intimatel for the as
sociation to be intensely satisfactory.
The Judge has laid down line of prin-
ciple in his decisions that causes the
keepers of the policy house to tremble
and the bunko men to bow themselves.
His instructions to the Dubach jury were
straight from-the.shoulder blows at this
kind of organized law-breaking. With
the midnight closing ordinance enforced,
and "policy" suffering vigorous perse-
cution, there must be heart-sickness
among the gamblers and saloonists of
the Queen City.

The complaint urged now is that Pro
bate Judges do not abide by the rates
fixed in 1876. Many lawyers do not
know the legal fees, private citizens are
not expected to, and disregard of the law
becomes an easy matter.
The Enquirer man takes occasion to
strengthen his point by citing some
cases, from which we select few. He
says:
Here is receipt which seems to be a
cost bill also

man for the Presidency. The wisest and
briefest answer that can be made to this
suggestion is, "Don't." 1t is year too
soon to begin espousing Presidential
candidates. Who knows what year
may bring forth in the estimation of the
public Sherman, if endorsed by the
convention, might add power to the
ticket this fall, but it is not time to
pledge the States support to any man.
Let the ticket run on its own strength.

ored Uncle Ben is a stanch friend of the

THE NEW LICENSE ACT.

Following is the full text of an amend
ment to the License Act, which was passed
at the last session of the Legislature, and
approved February l, 1887:
Sec. 20. The County Auditor shall
from time to time deliver to the Sheriff as
many of such licenses as may be required,
and shall sign the same and charge them
to the Sheriff provided, that before sign
ing or delivering any license to Sheriff,
the Auditor shall fill out the license in
full, stating therein to whom said license is
issued, the kind of business authorized to
be carried on under the license, the room,
building and placewhere the business is to be
carried on, the dates when said license be-
gins and expires, and the amount of money
to be paid therefor, and shall at the same
time make entries of the same upon the
stubs in the license-book. Whenever any
license is returned, by the Sheriff, unsold,
the Auditor shall cancel and file the license,
and note the fact and date of such cancella-
tion upon the stubs thereof. No Board of
County Commissioners shall audit or allow
any claim in favor Of Sheriff until there
shall be fled with said Board the certified
statement of the Auditor that all settle
ments required by the list Section of the
Act of which this is amendatory, have
been made by said Sheriff. The amount
of all licenses issued to the Sheriff and not
accounted for shall be deducted before any
claim shall be allowed to Sheriff. No
county shall be liable to the Auditor, other
than for his official salary, for any fees or
for any services required Of him under this
Act.
The construction placed upon this
amendment is that all persons requiring
licenses shall apply to the Sheriff for the
same, giving in the application descrip-
tion of the room or building in which the
business is to be carried on for which the
license is issued.
